YubiKey 5C NFC no PIN prompt on Android for OpenPGP decrypt
In addition to my PC set up I am also using the Android Password Store in combination with OpenKeyChain. Everything works fine except that decrypting any password simply works without requiring my PIN. I've tried both USB C connection and NFC and neither interface requires the PIN.

Suggestion regarding the privacy email providers with better search and spam filtering capabilty
I use mailbox.org with the encrypted inbox, Mozilla Thunderbird on desktop, and FairEmail + OpenKeychain on Android. I think StartMail is the only other one of those four options that supports standard IMAP and SMTP.
